A Unified Design-to-Code Platform

Onlook acts as a “Cursor for Designers” — a visual editor where design edits are immediately reflected in executable React code. This unique approach eliminates the handoff friction between static mockups and working applications, enabling seamless transitions from concept to deployment.

Visual Editing Meets Real Code

Live DOM-Based Canvas

Work directly on your web interface within an infinite canvas that mirrors your application. Onlook provides drag-and-drop controls, precise layout tools, and real-time styling adjustments that update the underlying code as you edit visually.

Layer & Component Management

Navigate complex UIs with an intuitive layer panel and reusable component structures. This support lets users organize elements like in traditional design tools while generating clean, maintainable React components.

AI Assistance for Development

Onlook integrates AI capabilities to assist with design refinement, code generation, debugging, and layout suggestions. Users can describe UI goals in natural language and watch Onlook generate or modify React components that align with project architecture.

Tight Integration with Modern Tech Stacks

React + TailwindCSS Support

Onlook’s editor is purpose-built for Next.js/React projects styled with TailwindCSS, enabling users to import existing codebases or start from templates and edit both UI and behavior without switching tools.

Figma Import & Conversion

Teams can bring Figma designs into Onlook and convert them into working React components, preserving visual fidelity while making designs interactive and functional.

Collaboration & Workflow Features

Version History & Undo

Automatic snapshots and version history ensure that teams can experiment confidently, rollback changes when needed, and keep track of design evolution.

Deployment & Team Scaling

Onlook supports deployment of completed applications with custom domains, branching workflows, and centralized style systems — features tailored for team usage. For self-hosted workflows, the open-source nature lets teams customize and extend the platform.

Why Onlook Matters

Onlook targets the longstanding challenge of translating design intent into production-ready code. By making code the single source of truth and enabling designers to operate in a visual context with full access to code semantics, the platform enhances collaboration between designers, developers, and product teams.
